ATTUNEMENT SEQUENCES
For each level of Reiki there are Attunement sequences. Instructions to pass on these Attunements are not generally taught until Level III Master/Teacher. The reason for this is that usually only a Master can attune someone into different levels of Reiki, but there are exceptions. These being that some people are naturally gifted at healing and as such are already in tune with the Universal energy, or they have been attuned by Distance Attunement(s), or even that they have attuned themselves; I have never experienced this myself, but I dont disbelieve it because everybodys energy connections are different and some people may be able to do this. The Attunement sequences vary between levels with Level I having four sequences, Level II having one sequence, and Level III also having one sequence. The following is an illustrated description on how to do the Attunements for each level:
Step 3. Walk around to the front of the Initiate. Using your left hand, clasp their hands from around the back where the thumbs are and pull hands up to a position easier for you to work with. While still clasping hands, bend over to be about eye level with the Initiate's hands and place your right hands fingertips to the Initiate's fingertips. Maintain hand positioning while visualizing the Dai-Ko-Mio, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei in that order. Step 4. With your right hand, clasp the top of the Initiate's fingers by folding your hand over the top of their hand and visualize the Dai-Ko-Mio, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei in that order. Step 5. Keeping the same hand positions, lift the Initiate's hands near to nose in order to have access to their Throat Chakra. Adjust your standing position and draw the Cho-Ku-Rei with your right-hand. Draw in a deep breath through the nose. Blow out 1/3 of breath over the Heart 1/3 over the Throat and 1/3 over the Third Eye (all in short bursts). Step 6. Release Initiates hands, placing them over Initiate's heart and step back. Allow as much time to pass as you feel then say to the Initiate "You can open your eyes whenever you are ready. This concludes the first part of the first degree Attunement." Second Attunement/Third Attunement : Preparation and positioning are the same as in the first Attunement with the addition that you will also touch the Initiate's shoulders. The steps for the Second and Third Attunements are identical. These Attunements will not only set up the flow of Reiki, but they help clear the Initiates Chakras as well Step 1. Lift up your left arm with palm open. With your right hand draw the Dai-Ko-Mio over the Crown Chakra. Step 2.Now place both hands on the Initiate's shoulders with both thumbs on either side of the prominent bone at the base of the neck. Visualize the Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei, in that order. Hold that position and allow the energy to flow through all the Chakras. Step 3. Walk around to the front of the Initiate. Using your left hand, clasp his/her hands from around the back where the thumbs are and pull hands up to a position easier for you to work with. While still clasping hands, bend over to be about eye level with the Initiates hands and place your right hands fingertips to the Initiates fingertips. Maintain hand positioning while visualizing the Dai-Ko-Mio, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei in that order. Step 4. With your right hand, clasp the top of the Initiate's fingers by folding your hand over the top of her/his hand and visualize the Dai-Ko-Mio, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei in that order. Step 5. Keeping the same hand position, lift Initiate's hands near to nose in order to have access to their Throat Chakra. Adjust your standing position and draw the Cho-Ku-Rei with your right hand. Draw in a deep breath through the nose. Blow out 1/3 of breath over the Heart 1/3 over the Throat and 1/3 over the Third Eye (all in short bursts). Step 6. Release Initiates hands, placing them over Initiate's heart and step back. Allow as much time to pass as you feel then say to the Initiate "You can open your eyes whenever you are ready."
Fourth Attunement : Preparation and position are the same as in First, Second, and Third Attunements Step 1.Raise up your left arm with palm open. With your right hand draw the Dai-Ko-Mio over the Crown Chakra. Step 2. Now move counter clockwise to the side of the chair. Place one hand on Initiates Forehead and one on the back of the head. Visualize the Dai-Ko-Mio, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei in that order. Step 3. Walk around to the front of the Initiate. Using your left hand, clasp their hands from around the back where the thumbs are and pull hands up to a position easier for you to work with.

Maintain hand positioning while visualizing the Dai-Ko-Mio, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei in that order. Step 4. With your right hand, clasp the top of the Initiate's fingers by folding your hand over the top of their hand and visualize the Dai-Ko-Mio, Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen, Sei-He-Ki, and Cho-Ku-Rei in that order.

other hand and repeat all of Step 4 on the second hand. Step 5. Hold both of the Initiates hands together and lift them near to their nose in order to have access to their Throat.
